Abstract
Genetic divergence was estimated among a set of twenty one genotypes comprising of six diverse parents (desi / kabuli and nodulating / non nodulating) and their fifteen F1 crosses using D2 statistic for thirteen yield contributing and nodulating traits. Significant differences were observed for all the characters among the genotypes which were grouped into eight clusters. Maximum intra cluster distance was observed in cluster II while maximum inter cluster distance was observed between cluster VI and VIII followed by cluster VII and VIII. Based on inter- cluster distances, crossing of genotypes of cluster VI with that of VIII, III and V, and between VII and VIII was suggested to get maximum heterotic effect and a broad spectrum of variability in the segregating generations to isolate superior individuals for yield and its components
